       I desire you will examine the above & that you will at your Convenience make Copy's of the operations for 1st & 29th July as they are now altered; and that for August must be made out anew, with the above Error set right, and the Stock of Lead and litharge must be set down in it, tho' not in the others for the 1st & 29th July.  As we have entered the supplemental Work, as done upon the 10th of June, tho' in fact, it was not finished till the 24th August, this is the only way I could devise to keep the Accounts clear, and ther was no other way that I could think of to keep last Years Accounts separate from this.   I am

       Your Humble Servant

      Nichos. Walton Junr
